So I learned crochet knitting and embroidery before I was 10 years old.
Nbody knew how to tat and I was 20 when an Indian woman teached me
tatting for 1/2 hour, that was enough to begin my first hankie with 2

make is to stop thinking that you have to display your lace on dark blue.
I think this came into being when tissue paper was either white or

i was hoping someone could give me a-round-about guess of how much 25
